"If I weren’t an actress, I would have pixie-short, fire-engine red hair," jokes Kendrick. "I would probably also have tattoos and piercings and stuff. Looking like a blank slate makes it easier for me to get jobs, but it also means that people can kind of project whatever they want onto me."

"[When you're getting ready for a premiere], there's usually a hair person behind you and a make-up artist in front of you. You’re sort of frozen in place and all you can do is sit there with your eyes closed. I put on a podcast most of the time, but the second that the makeup artist is done, I immediately get on my phone because it’s been an hour of not being able to text or anything. I'm sadly one of those people who's addicted to her phone."
